Jay762 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Wotcha and welcome - I did wonder about the name put put it down to some form of evolving from one to another ;) but we are all about the cars on here - we have Alfa lovers , VW enthusiasts, Landy lovers + a few two wheel aficionados, common denominator being internal combustion so feel free to browse and get stuck in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevotheevo1 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Just a quick update and associated question, whilst on boost and changing up through the gears the engine revs up between 200-400 rpm when depressing the clutch, at first i thought it was just me getting used to driving a new car but now im not so sure as this seems to happening consistently. Also it has had a custom Ecu remap (BRD/TEK3) from b.r. developments, the graph shows 283bhp/319ft lbs, not sure if this could possibly part of the cause or not. Thinking back to my (dare i say it) Evo days (Evo1) installing a BOV seemed to help with some of the tuning issues, so being impatient, which is my natural habitat, i jumped on eBay and had one delivered the next day, bolted it on, and i think maybe its a little better, at least in my mind. Any thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sounds more like the clutch is slipping to me any idea when it was last changed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevotheevo1 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 As far as I can tell from the paperwork it has never been changed, its done 88k with a comprehensive service history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 It's done pretty well then I destroyed mine in less than 80k miles with a lightened flywheel. I would say its the start of the clutch slipping then :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevotheevo1 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Well thats inconvenient I will investigate further and see what comes up, thanks for your help/advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sorry for the bad news :( you made me feel bad now :) I always find with the clutch is at the most inconvenient time. But like you say worth looking in to 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 fitting the BOV may have alleviated it a bit by dumping the pressure and therefore some of the power so less strain on the clutch. If you do replace the clutch it is a good move to have the flywheel skimmed to ensure even wear in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
